1 Krone Deutsch-Gabel; PoW Camp

Deutsch-Gabel — now Jablonné v Podještědí in the Czech Republic — hosted one of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's prisoner-of-war camp networks during the First World War. The K.u.K. Kriegsgefangenenlager-Kommando issued scrip denominated in Kronen specifically to restrict prisoners' access to outside currency, a policy applied across the empire's camp system to prevent hoarding of specie and limit contact with the civilian economy.

Camp scrip of this type was printed in small quantities, used hard, and almost never preserved by the prisoners who carried it. Survivors rarely kept it; guards had little reason to. Campbell 1353 is among the scarcer Austro-Hungarian PoW issues precisely because Deutsch-Gabel was a secondary facility, not one of the larger, better-documented camps.
